p.s. shelley, stoker, etc, wrote fiction, so you knew it was just that. icke writes fiction and markets it as truth. as a result his readers can no longer discern fact from fiction.

He hasn't conned anyone. He writes books, which you are free to purchase, or not.

He gives lectures, which you may choose to attend or not. You won't go broke if you do go.

Boy, this guy must really get under y'all's skin. He must really be on to something to get this reaction.

Interesting.

he's a big time money grabber and therefore not spiritual, although he deceives people into believing he is. anyone who is obsessed with making so much money is a materialist and therefore cannot be spiritual. that's why he's a big time fraud, and that's why he pisses me off.

You are being disingenous. It was already addressed.

Books take money to be published/mass produced.

A large venue to lecture at takes money, rent, pay staff, insurance, etc.

It's not free. But you know all this.

I suppose he could live on a park bench and speak to people in the park. Then he would be called "nuts".

Oh wait, you already say that.

It's all a big fail for you, once it's broken down logically.

yeh, i wonder how many trees are cut down so he can make money from his books? so much for his environmentally friendly stance from a former head of the green party (what a joke).

he could sell ebooks, but he knows that ebooks get copied and distributed over the internet very easily, and he doesn't want to lose any profit now does he? instead of hiring out venues (and flying across the world in environment polluting jets) he could do web streams from his home, but he knows it wont generate as much money. in fact, he actually offers web streams for those who can't attend his lectures... at a price of course.

fact is, he has made a fortune and doesn't need to make anymore money, but he's all about the money so he will continue doing his venues, books, etc, etc, because he knows there is much more money to be made.

the bottom line is, the man is a materialist and a fraud. there is nothing more to discuss on the matter.
